Abstract excerpt
Enrofloxacin treatment of chickens infected with fluoroquinolone(FQ)-sensitive Campylobacter promoted the emergence of FQ-resistant Campylobacter mutants which propagated in the intestinal tract and recolonized the chickens. The recovered isolates were highly resistant to quinolone antibiotics but remained susceptible to non-FQ antimicrobial agents. Specific single-point mutations in the gyrA gene and the...
